Beep Beep – do excuse me for this non make up related post but I feel like this is a public health warning. I stumbled across this nice looking jar of coffee last week, called Nescafe Green Blend. The idea of this instant coffee is that its full of Antioxidants and is a mixture of […]

Didn’t I say I have a notebook fetish? Mr Candy found stacks and stacks of half used notebooks and diaries, and he has totally banned me from buying any more…but I couldn’t resist Paperchase’s new collection Day Trippers when I was browsing in store yesteryday: I think Paperchase get it so, so right for stationery […]

I was actually shopping on Strapya World – an online Japanese bric-a-brac store which looks like its on acid – for some gems and sticky things to do a customisation tutorial… But I also ended up with these cool bits! Kikis Delivery Service mini stamp set, and a Hello Kitty Security Stamp. If you don’t […]

Hallo ladies! Last week I spent a few days in London for business and pleasure. Everytime I go, time flies by and I never actually get round to any sight seeing. This time for the sake of “adventure” me and Mr Candy took the Bus which was a 4.5 hour journey. Never again. I never […]

So I watched The Bounty Hunter last night with Maniston and Gerard Butler. Awful film in every way, but Mani carried a hot hot bag throughout it. I did my research and its this one: Salvatore Ferragamo’s Sofia handbag, about £800 (I think). I love it when worn over the shoulder so much: Guess which […]

I’ve decided I have three health and beauty (albeit shallow) goals: 1. Lose weight (that old chestnut) properly. 2. Look after my skin properly. 3. Grow my hair properly. Fatty Can you believe I haven’t been abroad for the last 4-5 years? Life and work has got in the way but I am determined to […]

Just watching TV and seen this amazing, amazing magazine thats out now in the UK (its one of those where you collect it every week or fortnight…usually reserved for children and trainspotters). HELLO KITTY PARTY! Yes – with week one (£1.99) you get a free Hello Kitty Dinner Place! How cuttteeeeeeeeee! Mr Candy’s immediate response […]

Wow – I finally finished not one, but two base products! Chanel Pro Lumiere and Lancome Teint Idole Ultra (Divine finish but struggling with it with my super dry skin). Very pleased with that, although I still have a number of new bases to crack open and try – L’oreal True Match is one of […]

Does anyone else out there watch Dexter? Well I am still reeling after watching Season 4’s finale. OMFG. But I have no one to talk to about it, no one to go OMFG to – so if you saw it, you know what happened, if you also need some sleeping tablets and a hug, leave […]

So so so busy at the moment with work that Mr Candy has taken over on the Christmas Photography side of things (thank goodness). Therefore, no time for new make up posts so I declare 2 days of random randomness tweets. Like the good old days! Hope you enjoy X

This is one of those totally rambling, self indulgent posts about what I’d like for Christmas…not that I’m hinting. As a gift giver – I am pretty damn good. Even with limited funds I tend to hone down on people, what I think they will like, what suits them, what would make them happy. I […]

Just to say guys, thanks for bearing with me – the site technical issues should be over for now – if you do experience any bugs at all do let me know. My email is not behaving at all but you can leave me a comment here and I will check it as soon as […]

In a new series of random finds (I do, occasionally buy things other than make up, honestly, like bacon and books), I present to you today, SOAK – a clothing detergent (is that the right word?) that is very eco-friendly and great for delicate items. I got some sachets to try (£1.65 from here) – […]

It’s Monday. How ya doin?! Me? Not so great. One of the many disasters I had this week is that my boy cat, who is desperate to be an extra in the next Jackie Chan movie decided that jumping from the floor to the top of a wardrobe is a good idea and came flying […]

Hey hey!! How are you all doing? I have been ok, although my weekend has been hectic. My first (and only – for a while) blog sale will be up later on today 8pm GMT time (I think its about 3pm in New York – click HERE to see what time the blog sale will […]

Can you believe its October? Have you achieved all you wanted to this year? I had many rants to post about this week, but I’ve realised that ranting only leads to more ranting, until one is so ranted out, that there is nothing left of oneself but a puddle of angst. So I will refrain. […]

It’s Friday at last people! What a week I’ve had. I have so many cool posts in mind but I’m just so exhausted I can’t quite muster them up so bear with me…The swatch gallery is taking longer than expected, but I have faith in my computer whizz and I hope to have it up […]

Two new things that will be happening on the blog: a. I will do a weekly catch up, random post for free chatting about anything at all and just to let you know what is coming up on the blog and b. There will be a new daily post featuring a random swatch. We will […]

Shu Uemura brought out a large palette costing £25 which takes 36 shadows or 18 blushers. My Shu Shadows don’t get much love so I decided to pick out my favs and put them in my big palette. Here it is: Notice the colors with a dip in them are the metallic shades from the […]

Judging by the conversations I’ve had lately, everyone’s taste in what they deem as beautiful seems to vary a lot these days. It got me thinking, who do other people think are beauties, and why* *You can’t say your mum. We get it, you love your mum, but its not cliché day. I personally like […]
